Do The Fat Al!
I forgot I downloaded it, but last Friday I finally extracted DJ RPM & Mr. Boomtown – The Texas Takeover Part 2. Included in the mixtape were the following gems:
Big Bucc: “Tatted On Her Back”
Damm D: “Beat It Up”
Fat Pimp feat. D’Ray: “Stupid”
Tum Tum feat. Street C: “Posted With Gorilliaz”
Trai D’ feat. Fat Pimp: “Booty From Behind” (R.I.P. Pimp C)
Candi Redd: “Independent Bitches”
Lil’ Woo: “Do Dat”
As you can see, we’ve got a lot of creative folks in this set. But, the song that stuck out most to me was a song entitled “Do The Fat Al” by The Gutta Twins. If you’ve been reading this blog long enough you know I love a song that comes with an instructional dance.
Thankfully, I was able to find an instructional video with an actual fat person doing the dance.
Do ya’ll see him breaking them boys off in the video (no Bow Wow)? If homie did that dance at least three, four, maybe eighteen times a day he would walk around with the weight of three less people (obesity is a disease we must end, folks…same for yaki hair).
Will I be doing this dance? I’m not sure yet. A part of me says, “Hell no, don’t I do enough stupid dances already?”
We all have that side of us inside. It should be ignored. Completely. No rub ya belly, swing ya chain, and do the Fat Al.
Just go run a lap and read a newspaper after you’re done. I’d normally say watch the news, but honestly, the Fat Al is actually more intellectually stimulating than 90% of what’s found on cable news.
P.S. Although I threw bougie-inspired shade to songs from this mixtape, know that I will or likely already have danced to all of these songs. Tweets is watching.

you know good and heck well there will be a Fat Al twirk off in our future. This defies the laws of physics… how is he jigging (like really jigging) and he’s still that big?!?!

You and these damn dances. lol! But seriously, I could actually get with this one. I swear there’s elements of the Troop in what he’s doing. (Yeah, I’m old.)
But, really–how this boy have the nerve to have his pants saggin’? It’s one thing to see it on the skinny boys, but this here has kilt my soul.

fyi.
AbelleinBrooklyn apologized to you in her blog.
I was reading your debate with her yesterday and couldn’t understand why she didn’t understand your point was the truth, even if it was uncomfortable.
Peace.

I just read it. She apologized for missing the obvious, but accused me of name-calling. Anyone who can read can look back on Twitter and see that it was her being insulting, and then hurling gay stereotypes when she couldn’t make her point — which led to me blocking her before I said anything out of pocket.

I gotta keep coming here just to stay up on the latest ign’ance. We obviously share tastes in music, but I’m too old to be in them streets living this life, and I’m too lazy to do research to find it. So keep the foolishness coming – good lookin’ out.
